Ingredients
For the Creamy Lemon Dressing:
- 1 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For the Salad:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts ends trimmed
- 1/2 cup pistachios chopped
- 1/2 cup dates chopped
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 2 green onion sliced
- 2 tablespoons mint freshly chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley freshly chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- herbs extra, for garnish
- pistachios
- Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- First make the dressing. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Shave the Brussels sprouts. Use a food processor with the slicing attachment and pulse until the Brussels sprouts are thinly sliced. You can also use a mandoline or sharp knife if you don't have a food processor.
- Add the Brussels sprouts, pistachios, dates, Parmesan cheese, green onions, and herbs to the dressing.
- Toss until well coated. Squeeze the lemon juice over the salad. Garnish with extra herbs, pistachios, and Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
- Storing: Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you're prepping the salad ahead of time, store the dressing separately and toss it with the salad about 30 minutes before serving. The dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
